For those of you who don't know me, I am very much a planner. I live by task lists, and I am lost if I don't have them. So for our "Progress Toward Your Degree" assignment last week, I focused on what I needed to do to become a tenured professor. I know I want to teach in higher education because I have had experience in that, both as an english instructor at Kansas State University and currently as a librarian here at UF. These experiences have shown me how rewarding it is to convey a message to students and see the light bulb turn on above their heads. I enjoy being witness to and facilitator of these "AHA" moments.
So below is a list of things I need to do to get to where I want to be:
1. Join AECT this semester - attend and present at meeting in 2007
2. Read, read, and read some more to stay up with what is going on in IDT and to pinpoint my niche
3. Pursue meaningful projects at work that will enhance what I am learning in classes
4. Collaborate with other students and faculty in the college in order to attain grants for research and publish papers
5. Set up a week-per-week learn & apply schedule that will help me to learn technology used in IDT
